The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
I would like to think that I have posted quite a few half-decent posts in my time here at SR's discussion forums so why should I, and other newbies, be refused access to a particular forum when I have never tried to mis-use or deliberately annoy anyone on these forums.
I may only have posted 150 or so times but why should I have to get to 300 posts (and 7500 words) just to write in the Prime FOG? Believe it or not I mostly like to think about what I write before I start rather than just writing a whole load of cack.
I guess even on the internet you cannot escape the labels which are found in the big bad world and I just think that is a very big shame.
(This isn't a very structured argument as I just finished a 10 hour shift at work, I need my tea and I'm annoyed at not being allowed to write in the Prime FOG)
Just to summarise:
I don't want to post rubbish just to get to regular status.
Why should newbie status not allow you to post on a forum?
What next, a forum where only females can post and a forum where guys can post?
If anyone can carry this argument better than I please feel free to post in here, I'm off to get some food!

Thats why my idea was so good!
:) read it again!
I'd go with this.
I agree that newbies should be alowed to post in the Prime topics forum!
I've seen loads of crap topics saying "My last post on Gamecube"
"My last post on X-box"
etc
put up by regulars!
There's no excuse!
Now, where did I put my dumpweed?
